Spooky woman haunts Martin's spy camera
A GHOSTLY bride is haunting a bed-ridden man's security camera system.
Martin Finlayson, who suffers from multiple sclerosis, tuned in to the mysterious woman in white when he checked his CCTV equipment last week.
He swears she came into focus, wearing a wedding dress and holding a child - while sitting on a stool in the middle of the road outside!
And the spectral image stayed with him for about two hours before fading eerily away.
Martin (54), who lives in Drakies Avenue, Inverness, has been confined to bed for the past 10 years.
He uses CCTV to check on people who come to his door.
He told the Highland News:
"I saw this woman sitting in the middle of the road. It looked like a woman in a wedding dress.
"She was looking straight into the camera and then she was holding a child.
"It looked like she was sitting in a seat or on a stool. One leg was not touching the ground.
"At first I thought I was imagining things - I just thought nothing of it.
"But it stayed there and then she moved. It has never been there before."
Martin said the spooky apparition in white remained on his screen for about two hours before gradually starting to fade. It couldn't be seen with the naked eye.
He even asked his wife Catherine to clean the camera's lens and the screen of his monitor.
"There were no marks on them, " he said.
"I thought it could have been that, but they were both clear as a bell and it definitely wasn't the sun that was causing the image. It is the most weird thing I have seen in my life."
Martin said that when a car drove along the street the image stayed where it was.
"If a car went by it just stayed there. It didn't move, it looked as though the car went straight through it or to the side of it.
"There may be some ghost stories from this area but I don't know of any and I don't know of any road accidents along here either.
"I would say there are definitely such a thing as ghosts."
The eerie event reminded Martin of a childhood experience.
"I saw something like this when I was younger and I got the fright of my life, " he added.
"I was cycling back from the Black Isle Show and I went past a fence and thought there was a woman sitting on it.
"I was so frightened I came off my bike."
